The indictment reveals that Stone knew absolutely nothing before the initial public drops about what was going on with WikiLeaks.
As special counsel Mueller notes, Roger Stone sometimes spoke with various members of the Trump campaign, sometimes was even asked for information.
The president could well have asked someone to find out what Stone knew, but there would be a rather simple reason for doing so: Stone was broadcasting on Twitter, in interviews and in speeches, that he had an informant and that, through the informant, he knew about what was going on.
From Aug. 15 to Aug. 29, 2016, Stone literally was a chatterbox on social media.
In an interview with now-banned host Alex Jones, Stone claimed he had "Back-channel communications" and that "Political dynamite" was on its way.
In September, Stone said WikiLeaks would "Drop a payload of new documents on a weekly basis fairly soon." Come Oct. 1, Stone sent out a tweet predicting that Hillary Clinton will be "Done."
Stone will have an opportunity in court, as a matter of law, to win or lose on the specifics of how material his omissions were and why he was trying to keep Corsi out of his testimony.
